There really is no discussion needed for this topic.

Even if you and your father don’t get along or communicate often, you owe it to him to do these things.  WITHOUT YOUR DAD, THERE WOULD BE NO YOU! And depending on resources/funds, this could be something you and your siblings do collectively for your Dad.

I promise you these things will improve his life and hopefully your relationship with him.  Make it happen!

1. Call your Dad on Father’s Day and tell him you love him!
2. Send your Dad a recent picture of you/your family(doesn’t matter the quality).
3. Check with Dad‘s Insurance Agent/Financial Planner to make sure he has executed a will(or even better a trust)to ensure Uncle Sam doesn’t clean out his assets upon death.
4. Call your Dad’s Doctor and make your Dad’s had his blood work, a PSA screening, Colonoscopy and a Dexa Bone Scan(if he doesn’t have a Dr-good for him-but set these up and then accompany him to the Dr. to get this stuff done)
5. Buy your Dad a PDA-preferably a Blackberry and then teach him how to use it to better manage his time and stay in touch with his kids and grandkids.(Be patient and explain to him the benefits of being closer to his children and grandchildren).
6. Make sure your Dad’s computer and PDA(if he already has both)are up to date with the latest OS’s and software to better manage his email contacts and his life.
7. Order your Dad the Beardmaster Shaving Oil Kit from the Grooming Lounge and have it sent to him so he can enjoy the “Smoothest Shave in the World” for the rest of his life.
8. Buy your Dad an MP3 Player(preferably an iPod)and make sure he knows how to download and purchase music/audio books/and podcasts of things he is genuinely interested in.
9. Schedule 4 hours of Private time with your Dad-Yourself and Your Children for a Sunday later this year.
10. Handwrite a letter to your Dad telling him the “5 Most Important Values/Things” your learned from him that makes you the person you are today!
